Today, October 2, the world celebrates International Social Educator Day. This holiday honors people who work with children and families every day, helping them overcome difficulties, supporting them, and creating conditions for each child’s development.
A social educator is not just a school specialist. They are a person who becomes a real bridge between the child, the family, and society.
Their mission is to help overcome difficulties in learning, adaptation, or relationships with peers, and to teach children to find the strength to move forward.
In the world, social pedagogy is an important part of the education and support system for children.
In Ukraine, especially during the war, the work of social educators takes on special significance: they support children who have experienced loss, forced displacement, or stressful events.
Their work is invisible at first glance, but it is thanks to them that children and families have a chance for harmonious development and new opportunities.
Let’s thank social educators today for their care, sincerity, and dedication.
